There’s a small victory event at the manor today.
After the bloodbath that occurred the day prior yesterday, and the victory of BloodClaws against Dumas‘ Pack, everyone gathered around at the manor. For a feast. It’s the first time I’m meeting with wolves from Aron’s pack who aren’t his inner circle and warriors,
He introduces me as his mate to them. As his mate. His.
I try to smile and be nice for as long as I can. There are a lot of people here, and it is a little overwhelming, but I don’t mind. Not at all. I enjoy it a little too much to complain about anything. Especially after everything that has happened in the few months. Or perhaps my entire life, in retrospect, considering how I had been mistreated and hated among the pack I
past had grown up in.
Here, the pack wolves are different. They are nothing like my old pack, and I have noticed that time and again, yet it never
fails to amaze me
His people are too kind, very welcoming and so polite that it almost makes me wonder whether it is real or not.
Of course, it is.
“Enjoying yourself?” Aron asks me while offering me a drink. Champagne “Drink a little. It won’t bite.” I stare at the bubbling liquid. skeptical
“It has alcohol, I’m not supposed to-” I pause, and he gives me a look.
‘I don’t give two fucks, drink, he states. “You can have what you want to have here. No one’s going to be stopping you. You’re not a servant in that godforsaken place.”
Well
Okay then.
I grab the champagne flute from his hand and have a sip. It doesn’t taste bad, but it doesn’t taste good either–just okay. I suppose. It burns a little as it goes down.
“Happy now?” I raise my gaze and find him already looking at me.
“You’ve to finish it to make me happy, he answers before taking his own sip…
“What if I refuse?” I ask, taunting him a little.
“You wouldn’t You like to do what you’re told to do. He leans down and whispers in my ear, “Like the good girl you were yesterday, the way you opened up to me, let me in
I feel heat flush over the skin on my cheeks, and the tip of my ears redden. I purse my lips together and take another small sip, listening to him
My insides are still sore from everything, and this morning wasn’t any easier. There’s something different in my body, and I can’t really tell what it is, but there is There definitely is, and I know the reason is him.
I felt it in every step I took toward the ballroom today and I still feel it, between my legs and in my heart. In never be explained in words. So good and yet so foreign–the things he did to me. The things that happened last night. It

feels strange that I’ve never experienced something like it, which is true, but also that no one in this room knows it.
We have our little secret. Only us. Me, Him.
You’re red in your cheeks, Aron’s tone dips down, soft and warm, “What are you thinking of, little wolf? Your mind’s wandering. He places his champagne down on the table before reaching out to me and slipping a lock of hair behind my
“You’re embarrassing me,” I narrow my eyes, trying to distract myself. “Go away” I nudge him in the ribs with my elbow. “Let me have my evening
He grins at my weak attempts, clearly amused and enjoying my reactions a bit too much. A lot.
“And after that?” He questions. “Where would you have me then? In my room or in yours?”
You’re horrible
Tm honest
Go”
He chuckles before moving away from me, disappearing into the rest of the crowd. I shake off the blush I’m feeling on the tip of my cheeks and go for the dessert table, where there’s a line of sweets, chocolates, and all the delicious stuff. The best
ones.
I don’t really bother with a plate, I just take and eat. It’s not like anyone’s paying any mind to my lack of manners here.
It’s all free, and it tastes like heaven..
Since last night. I have felt like a starved animal, craving everything in and out of the kitchen.
“You know there’s a lot of it in the back, right?” Kovas tells me
s he pops up beside me out of nowhere.
I take the last piece and move away from the table. “I know. Why wouldn’t I know? I shrug, obviously lying. I didn’t know that there was more of this in the back.
“Aron’s out, he’s talking to Liam and Marco about some matters. W
Why don’t we have a little talk?” he suggests, squinting his

“Something I can’t tell you
“Tell me. I’m curious to know, he presses to know. “I was completely surprised today when Aron called and not–well, you know. And now this. It didn’t happen on its own. What did you do?” I look at his face and try to decide if I can even tell him.
No.

“Why not?”
“It’s, it’s something private.” I whisper.
He stares at my face, brows raising and then dropping back down.
“You mean…oh,” he realizes, mouth gaping. “Oh, well, that never really ever worked, to be honest. Not with Valarie-
“With who?” I ask
“Oh, no one, he waves his hand in the air, “Just ignore that. Nothing”
Alright
“Anyway, it’s a good–thing. Start. Don’t do anything that will make him want to change again. Okay?” he says before stepping away. I follow after him. I stop him.
“What about the plan he has? Is he going to continue with it?”
Kovas shrugs. “It takes a while for him to taper off the need for control once Kael is suppressed. But he will put it on pause in a couple of days I’m happy to hear it, but only for a small period of time because Kovas shakes his head and continues, “Don’t be too happy, it doesn’t last for that long” he tells me.
My mood shifts, not so optimistic now.
Well aren’t y
you a ray of sunshine, I mutter under my breath.
